This is the place to collect your memories about Atlanta’s hip community from about 1967 to about 1977 .
“Something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear”. Whatta Decade! How was it for you?
We need other perspectives to get it right.
What was it like to be a gay man or woman in Atlanta before 1967?
What was it like to be a hip African American in Lester Maddox Georgia?
What was it like to be a biracial couple in Lester Maddox Georgia?
We don’t know, but you might be able to tell us.
Did the ch-ch-changes change your life?
Curious minds want to know.
Here is what we want to know to start- (digress freely)
1.When did you first come to Atlanta and what brought you here?
2. When did you first visit The Strip?
3. What was your best experience associated with The Strip and the hip community?
4. What was your worst experience associated with The Strip and the hip community?
5. Did your experiences at that time effect your life? If so, what did you learn or take away from it all?
6. It seems everyone around in that time and place has an Allman Brothers story. Share your Allman Brothers story if you have one please.
Tell us to what name you wish your story accredited. If you wish to use a “street name” or be anonymous, please give us a way to contact you for furthur information.
If you are in the Atlanta area, we can arrange to digitally tape your interview if you prefer.
Where are you now and whatcha doin?
Hi Boyd, is that you at the other end? How can I reach you? Email me.
I saw Malvina Reynolds sitting in the bookstore at Antioch College playing her guitar and singing to the children. Very fun! Ca. 1970, before I moved to Atlanta. I think it was the trip when we were on our way out to D.C. for the Anti-War Moratorium march. Always loved that song. I also saw the “little boxes on the hillside” outside of S.F. in 1970.
